Fluid flow in porous media encompasses a diverse range of phenomena that are critical to understanding processes such as groundwater transport, oil recovery, and subsurface pollutant dispersion.

Viscous fingering occurs in porous media where fluids of differing viscosity converge in finger-shaped patterns as a result of growing disturbances at the interface. Such instabilities are encountered ...

It is commonly assumed that tiny particles just go with the flow as they make their way through soil, biological tissue, and ...

What laws govern how chemicals pass through filters? How do droplets of oil move through layers of stone? How do blood cells travel through a living organism? A team of researchers has discovered how ...

Previous chapters have addressed fracture geometry, physical and geomechanical properties of single fractures, fracture detection, and the interpretation of hydraulic and tracer tests. All of these ...

It will orbit the ringed planet 74 times during its four year mission and execute 45 flybys of Titan, some of them only hundreds of kilometers from the moon’s surface. To keep the probe on its ...

Fluid flow in porous media is a subject of considerable scientific and engineering interest, as it underpins a wide range of natural and industrial processes – from groundwater movement and oil ...
